skyddsombud
Swedish
Noun
skyddsombud n
- (occupational) safety representative, safety rep, health and safety representative (person elected by employees to represent them vis-à-vis (in dealings with) management and the authorities in all issues concerning health and safety at work)
Usage notes
It's best to use "occupational (health and) safety representative" in many kinds of English because the term "health and safety representative" has other meanings in countries that don't have legislation requiring such a representative of employees. In US English it can, for example, refer to someone designated by a company to deal with health and safety issues, for example during a construction project.
